“Is it strange that when I look at certain fruit I find myself a bit… aroused?” asks filmmaker Yung Chang at the start of this delicious documentary. By the end of this inspired love letter to fruit, you too may yearn for a mangosteen! The Fruit Hunters follows a group of slightly eccentric foodies (fruities?), including actor Bill Pullman (Independence Day), who travel from Indonesia to Umbria, from Honduras to Hollywood, to seek out (and sometimes save) rare, exuberant and exotic species.

A must for foodies, gardeners and anyone interested in sustainability, this intelligent journey by multi-award winner Yung Chang (Up the Yangtze) invites you to look differently at your backyard (and your supermarket shelf) and to seek out the delights of organic, sun-ripened fruit.

“Engages and educates in a way that is almost as rich as the miraculous bounty which forms its subject.” – Film Journal International
